Leverage is a trading feature that allows you to amplify your exposure to the market by borrowing funds to increase the size of your positions. In perpetual trading, leverage is expressed as a multiplier (e.g., 2x, 10x, or 50x), representing how much more you can trade relative to the capital you have.
For example:
With 10x leverage, you can open a position worth 10 times the funds you have in your Perpetuals Wallet. If you have 100 USDT, you can open a position worth 1,000 USDT.
Leverage enables traders to maximize their potential profits, but it also increases the risk of losses. Here's how it functions:
Increased Buying Power: By using leverage, you can control a much larger position than what your capital alone would allow.
Margin Requirement: The margin is the amount of your capital needed to open and maintain a leveraged position. For instance, if you use 10x leverage, you only need 10% of the position's value as margin.
Liquidation Risk: If the market moves against your position beyond a certain threshold, your position may be liquidated, resulting in the loss of your margin.
Log in to your account.
From the top navigation menu, select Perpetuals.

Use the slider or input field to set your desired leverage (e.g., 10x).

Ensure the leverage suits your trading strategy and risk tolerance.
